Dynamic mechanism to lift the fluid to highest

ABSTRACT

A dynamic fluid pump for illustrating fluid dynamics includes a basin of the fluid have a base and a mass of fluid from the basin surface to the base. The dynamic fluid pump is supported at the bottom of the basin. The dynamic fluid pump includes four inner pipes. Two from the inner pipes are upwardly to the fluid tank, one upwardly to the surface of the basin and one act as a vent. The Smallest inner pipe are inside the main inner pipe and the secondary inner pipe smaller diameter than the main inner pipe. Two upwardly inner pipes (main and secondary) each one includes a piston in the bottom of the basin connected together to a pivot assembly in the base of the basin. So that, one of the pistons is at or near the top of one of the inner pipes when the other of the pistons is at or near the bottom of the other inner pipe.

This invention is a mechanism to lift the fluid to the top of themechanism and uses a dynamic fluid pump immersed in a basin of fluid.

In essence a display mechanism in accordance with the present inventionis used to raise the fluid to the top of the mechanism. The mechanismcomprises a fluid basin having a mass of fluid with a fluid surfacewithin a basin above the base. A dynamic fluid pump is located at thebottom of the fluid basin. In addition, a dynamic fluid pump includesfour upwardly inner pipes, two inner pipes being upwardly connected tothe fluid tank, one upwardly to the basin surface and one to act as avent. The smallest inner pipe will be inside the main inner pipe andthird inner pipe (secondary inner pipe) which has a smaller diameterthan the main inner pipe.

Two of the upwardly inner pipes (main and secondary) comprise a pistonin the bottom of the basin connected together to a pivot assembly in alower portion of the basin. So that, when one of the pistons is at ornear the top of one of the inner pipes, the other of the pistons is nearthe bottom of the other inner pipe.

A dynamic fluid pump fixed at the bottom of the fluid basin and has amain control valve on the main inner pipe on the top of piston reach. Onthe other hand, end bottom of smallest inner pipe has a damper are onthe top of the main control valve. The main control valve has a circularaperture so that, if the valve is closed, the circular aperture will fitunder the smallest inner pipe from the bottom and keep it open. Thesecondary inner pipe has a damper at the top of the basin and a controlvalve below. This damper is to keep filling pipe from the fluid and keepit from returning (keep the fluid on one direction without back).

The fluid in the secondary inner pipe from the piston to the fluid tankshould be less than the fluid in the main inner pipe from the basinsurface to the main control valve. Also, the fluid in the smallest innerpipe from the main control valve to the fluid tank should be less thanthe fluid in the secondary inner pipe from the piston to the damper.

When the basin is filled with fluid the secondary inner pipe will alsofill with fluid. Therefore, the respective piston will go down to thebottom. Then, the valve of the secondary inner pipe is closed. Then, themain inner pipe is filled with fluid from the top, and the main valve isopened. The fluid then fills the main inner pipe. Then, the weight ofthe fluid in the main inner pipe is bigger than the weight of the fluidin the secondary inner pipe so that, the piston of the main inner pipewill goes down and the piston of the secondary inner pipe will goes up.This pushes the fluid in the fluid tank through the secondary innerpipe. Then, we close the main valve without closing the smallest innerpipe and open the valve of the secondary inner pipe. Thus, a weight ofthe fluid in the secondary inner pipe will be bigger than the weight ofthe fluid in the main inner pipe piston through the smallest inner pipe,Then, the piston goes down in the secondary inner pipe and the piston inthe main inner pipe will goes up and pushing the fluid in the fluid tankthrough the smallest inner pipe.

Then the valve of the secondary inner pipe is closed and the maincontrol valve of the main inner pipe is opened and the process isrepeated again and again.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detailwith reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a fluid basin with a dynamic fluidpump at the bottom including four upwardly inner pipes. Two inner pipesextend up to the fluid tank, one upwardly to the fluid basin surface andone inner pipe extends to above the fluid surface in order to act as avent. The smallest inner pipe is inside the main inner pipe, the thirdinner pipe is named the secondary inner pipe. The secondary inner pipeis smaller in diameter than the main inner pipe and these two upwardlyinner pipes (main and secondary) each one include piston in the bottomof the basin connected together to a pivot.

FIG. 2 is shows the valve on the main inner pipe in which have acircular aperture so that if the main valve is closed, the inner mainpipe will close without closing the inner smallest pipe. Also, the maininner pipe is in a closed position in this figure.

FIG. 3 is shows the valve on the main inner pipe in open position.

The method is operable to push a mass of fluid up to the tank 10 at thetop of the apparatus from fluid basin 12. In one embodiment, this fluidis water. Then, this water may be used to fall down into a turbinesimilar to a turbine in a dam to generate electrical power.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a dynamic fluid pump is installed in a basin12 that is filled with fluid. The dynamic fluid pump is constructed atthe bottom of the basin 10 and consists of main inner pipe 40, asecondary inner pipe 20, a smallest inner pipe 30, and a vent inner pipe60. A dynamic fluid pump is at the bottom of the fluid basin 12. Inaddition, these four inner pipes are upwardly inner pipes. Two of innerpipes upwardly to the big tank 10, one inner pipe upwardly to the basin12 surface and one inner pipe upwardly above the basin 12 as a vent.

The smallest inner pipe 30 is inside the main inner pipe 40 and thesecondary inner pipe 20 smaller diameter than the main inner pipe 40.The upwardly-extending inner pipes (main 40 and secondary 20) each havea respective piston 26, 46 connected together to a pivot 50 assembly ina bottom of the basin 12. So that, if one of the pistons is at the topof one of the inner pipes the other pistons is at the bottom of theother inner pipe.

The dynamic fluid pump is fixed at the bottom of the fluid basin 12. Thedynamic fluid pump has in the main inner pipe 40, at the top of thepiston 46 reach, a main control valve 44. On the other hand, thesmallest inner pipe 30 is on the top of the main control valve 44 with adamper 32.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the main control valve 44 has a circularaperture 48. So that, if the valve closed position the circular aperture48 will fit under the smallest inner pipe 30 bottom to keep it openwhile the main inner pipe 40 closed.

The secondary inner pipe 20 has a damper (or non-return valve) 22 at thetop of the basin 12 and secondary control valve 24 below, this damper 22to fill the pipe with fluid.

The volume of the fluid in the secondary inner pipe 20 from the piston26 to tank 10 should be less than the volume of the fluid of the maininner pipe 40 from the top of basin 46 to the main control valve 44.Also, the volume of the fluid in the smallest inner pipe 30 from themain control valve to 44 the tank 10 should be less than the fluidvolume of the in the secondary inner pipe 20 from the piston 26 to thedamper 22.

In the beginning the two valves are open (main control valve 44 andsecondary control valve 24). Then, the basin 12 is filled with fluid. Sothat, the secondary inner pipe 20 will fill from fluid through thesecondary fluid valve 24. Then, we close valve 24. Then, the fluidshould fill in the basin 12 to reach the top of the main inner pipe 40and fill it. Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the main inner pipe 40will be bigger than the mass of the fluid in secondary inner pipe 20. Sothe piston 46 in the main inner pipe 40 will go down and the piston 26in the secondary inner pipe 20 will move up. The fluid in the secondaryinner pipe 20 will goes up through the damper 22 to the tank 10 and thedamper 22 will pass the fluid in one way only and prevent the fluid fromback. Then, we open the secondary control valve 24 and close the maincontrol valve 44 at the same time. When the secondary valve 24 iscomplete open and the main control valve 44 is complete close. The massof the fluid in the piston 46 of the main inner pipe 40 through thesmallest inner pipe 30 will be smaller than the mass of the fluid in thesecondary inner pipe 20. Therefore, the piston 26 in the secondary innerpipe 20 will go down and the piston 46 in the main inner pipe 40 willgoes up. So that, the fluid will goes up through the damper 32 of thesmallest inner pipe, the damper 32 pass the fluid from one way only andprevent the fluid from returning. Then we close the secondary controlvalve 24 and open the main control valve 44. Then, we repeat these stepsagain and again.

The vent inner pipe 60 is used to facilitate the movement of the pistonsand prevents the air pressure from increasing within the apparatus.
